摘要

最近，许多研究探讨了信息和通信技术与经济增长的关系以及民主与经济增长的联系，但结果却相互矛盾。然而，关于互联网和移动设备的使用对民主与经济增长关系的调节作用的研究却非常少。因此，本研究通过考察 2000-2020 年间 26 个非洲经济体中互联网和移动应用对民主与经济增长关系的影响，为经济发展文献做出了贡献。研究采用了面板校正标准误差（PCSE）估计技术。结果表明，改善非洲的民主制度可以促进经济增长。此外，结果还显示，提高互联网和移动设备的使用率可以促进非洲的经济增长。此外，结果还显示，互联网和移动设备的使用与民主之间的交互作用可以促进非洲的经济增长。讨论了互联网和移动应用对民主-经济增长关系的调节作用的政策影响。

Do internet and mobile usage affect the democracy-economic growth nexus in Africa?

Recently, many studies have examined the ICT-economic growth relationship and the democracy-economic growth linkage with conflicting results. However, the study on the moderating effect of internet and mobile usage on the democracy-economic growth relationship is very scanty. This study, therefore, contributes to the economic development literature by examining the impact of internet and mobile usage on the democracy-economic growth relationship in 26 African economies over the period 2000–2020. The panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) estimation technique has been applied. The results show that improving the democratic system in Africa can foster economic growth. Moreover, the result reveals that increasing internet and mobile usage can improves economic growth in Africa. Furthermore, the results reveal that the interaction between internet and mobile usage and democracy can boost economic growth in Africa. Policy implications regarding the moderating effect of internet and mobile usage on the democracy-economic growth nexus are discussed.
